CSL owner's...

[+49]

Hi guys¡K.Need some help from the CSL owner¡¦s ¡K

Need some help advise...Recently purchased some csl alloys from ebay¡KGenuine one¡¦s problem is after asking the seller some questions it doesn¡¦t look to good ƒ¼

As you can see I¡¦ve asked on the Z4 owner forums. Everyone on there seems fairly sure there fake, Though I¡¦d double check if there has been ¡§2 phases¡¨ of CSL wheel production? Just want to 100% before I get in a argument on ebay and risk my 51 rating at 100% ƒ¼


Who better to ask than the CSL guy¡¦s themselves :P

there was a BMW part number change for the rear rims but i have had both sets(well 5 sets altogether) and all had BMW on the front under the badge and BOTH had BBS cast into the triangles on the back

if it were me i would def walk away as these are the two signs they are genuine BMW. Let him take the risk as otherwise they are worth £200-300.

Agree with Shimmy above. The only difference between the newer ones was a change to the valve - the new ones have a more pronounced ridge. Apparently there was an issue with the valves at high speed.

LOL just won another set on ebay from an actual BMW breaker and turns out after some investigation there 99% fake aswell...

DOH!

The search goes on.

Another thing i've noticed..

There's at least 4-5 sets of "genuine" CSL alloys for sale at any one time on pistonheads/flebay.

But the fact that there are only 422 CSL's in the UK.. And me personally only ever seen them for sale with standard CSL's on?

I understand a few might have purchased spares new. But i can't imagine that many?

Anyhow probably the reason for so many so called "genuine" alloys going around

you can buy genuine CSL wheels here: http://www.simpsonmotorsport.co.uk/bmw-tuning/shop...

Plenty of owners I know have a spare set of CSL wheels.

The 2010 M3 CS comes with CSL style wheels.

Anyone know if

- anyone can buy these wheels
- they are lightweight jobs like genuine original e46 CSL wheels
- They will fit other cars

I think there was a casting change on the later rear CSL rim. There is an extra rib in the well IIRC.

The 2010 CS? e46? The runout model e46 M CS came with CSL style wheels, the rears were CSL wheels (ie identical) but the fonts are half an inch thinner...

Nords, I believe 0836whimper could be referring to the M3 Competition package of the E90/2 M3 that features the E46 M3 CSL wheel design.
